  • triniblaze101 Nick (@triniblaze101) reported

    @OCityDon @BradSmi @XboxP3 By putting it on gamepass a subscription service that is available on all platforms. Not all the games are on every mobile platform but with GP they will. Overwatch, Diablo, Cod console version… etc streamed on the cloud on a phone/tv without paying for a console sound good 2 me

  • soul_mapped Kells ⁷🧈 (@soul_mapped) reported

    @BlizzardCS Ok. It's a bummer because I've successfully claimed rewards for both overwatch and WoW with no issue. Does Blizzard have any sort of ETA on when they think it will be resolved? Especially since new drops start tomorrow.

  • X_Hochtisune Xavier Hochitsune Male PNGtuber (@X_Hochtisune) reported

    I apologize for ending the stream and not restreaming since I was struggling to fix the problem in my launcher. The fix would've taken and longer and me trying to restream still made my overwatch and battle net app crash. Will post updates thank you for understanding. <3

  • radioactivcooki cookie 🍪 (@radioactivcooki) reported

    Now with the rank reset thing overwatch has truly copied everything about its free to play model from apex and its hilarious to see ow players outrage about everything I've been complaining about apex for years but apex players are fine with the same issues

  • iTSrOCKTAVIUS iTSrOCKTAVIUS (@iTSrOCKTAVIUS) reported

    @PlayStation @AskPlayStation I bought overwatch 2 points yesterday from pSN store and still haven’t received them. It’s going on over 24 hours if I don’t have them tonight I will issue a stop payment to PlayStation. This is ridiculous

  • Savvy_Loves SavvyLoves (@Savvy_Loves) reported

    The day after my Calc 2 final exam I had a dream where in order to win a game of overwatch you had to solve a math problem that covered the whole screen AND I COULDNT SOLVE IT

  • knee_pls anthony (@knee_pls) reported

    overwatch would be so good if it didn't disconnect me every 5 minutes

  • Big_Kahuna765 Vishis_DNFDUEL Rogue DLC SIMP (@Big_Kahuna765) reported

    @Noir19841 @G27Status They couldnt out bid for final fantasy 7 remake? They can buy the whole dev team for crash, wow, overwatch, elder scrolls etc. But in the past decade they couldnt be bothered to put a timed exclusivity on anything but Rise Of Tomb Raider ? LOL

  • Zoodiaacs zodiac (@Zoodiaacs) reported

    @BlizzardCS at what point do ***** ***** who lose me games get banned as its a ******* joke, fix your dogshit overwatch system

  • anas0_ali Anas (@anas0_ali) reported

    @Ninja305011 @OWLOpinions Notice how Choi had to do military service and said he didn't like Overwatch 2

  • Rayanial2 Rayanial (@Rayanial2) reported

    Ok, I am getting real mad because of Overwatch 2 because ya know :( The new character is released, Ramattra 🥰 My problem is that I NEED TO GRIND MY *** OFF TO GET XP SO I CAN REACH 45 TIER TO GET THAT CUTIE BUT I CAN'T BECAUSE MY TIME IS LIMITED i am unhappy with blizzard >:(

  • t0bi_exe t0bi (@t0bi_exe) reported

    What a dogshit patch of Overwatch, this whole “Godfist” era is probably just for higher ranks, Soujorn is still braindead and broken and Ramattra is mid, with no movement options or real quick kill options he just gets out classed by DVA and Hog. Idk why I expected better

  • KlaraaSWE ♡ Klara ♡ (@KlaraaSWE) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Ayone else having the problem where u have claimed the twitch drop skin but it doesn't appear in your Overwatch Locker? (Yes my accounts are linked)

  • L1T_Sm0ke Martin Miller (@L1T_Sm0ke) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Please fix competitive as a whole. Make it like ow1, it isn’t hard. Your developers completely destroyed something that was the bright spot of ow1 and now it just mocks Overwatch as a whole with how pitiful competitive has become. I have told many friends to AVOID your game.

  • LunalightZane Zane “Mecha lord” Winters (@LunalightZane) reported

    So I would love to continue to play overwatch to, but there’s some concerns that blizzard cannot fix the skins are amazing. The new hero is OK Yash the problem that I’ve been having issues with the actual ******* community.

  • Crimsonkid555 Choti (@Crimsonkid555) reported

    @BungieHelp You people have been working on this game for over a decade, and you still can't seem to get it right. Fix the game, or lose players. Its that simple. Now, if you'll excuse me im gonna go play Overwatch 2. English #help

  • more_rising Rising (@more_rising) reported

    @TwitchSupport pls fix the overwatch twitch drops its not showing up for me in the iOS app

  • EnbyCatboyGF Kelby 🧁🐱🔞 (@EnbyCatboyGF) reported

    I’m liking playing overwatch, mainly because of Rein and Brig. The only problem is Overwatch players still like to back seat game their teammates. They still try to make you feel bad for playing a character you like or one you are trying to learn.

  • obama__runtz Teehee (@obama__runtz) reported

    TF2 comp is actually ******* broken it takes like an hour for you to find a match but that **** is somehow still better than Overwatch comp my ******* god

  • RTersu Raven_tersu (@RTersu) reported

    @EnbyCatboyGF There is so many problems with overwatch the only thing that's good imo is the character design

  • KingJackKiller2 KJK2-(CEO of Vanica Zogratis) (@KingJackKiller2) reported

    New Overwatch hero is broken asf 😭

  • XRoads1114 Michael Thomas (@XRoads1114) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent I’m curious about an issue with overwatch 2. I’ve played a couple of comp open queue matches been kicked out at the second round both times. It’s just the server that stops and won’t let me back in the game. I don’t want to get penalized for games I’m not leaving

  • The25thViolence Justin (@The25thViolence) reported

    the biggest issues with supports is that they can't stop crying long enough to actually finish 1 game of overwatch.

  • ThorIronside Thor Ironside (@ThorIronside) reported

    Look. You truly don’t love a game unless you complain about it. I love overwatch. But I will say any character is broken if I’m getting my *** kicked. @Traigu_ can vouch for that.

  • raharuburneracc peppermint tea-k (@raharuburneracc) reported

    the overwatch devs saw that doomfist was one of the worst heroes in the game and said “ok so what if we made him broken again”

  • HDREEEEEv2 👑names are hard💸 (@HDREEEEEv2) reported

    then this. In overwatch 1 there was no problem with the SBMM and to be honest it kinda worked pretty well. You’d get a team that knew what they were doing and the enemies would actually be at your skill lvl. In this game it’s either stomp or be stomped, especially in solo.

  • antmaster208 antmaster208 (@antmaster208) reported

    @more_cowbell1 @HYPEX @FortniteGame It’ll turn out to be another overwatch, releasing new classes without play testing and it becomes broken for a week and vaulted. Trust me you’ll be complaining by the end of the day if this came out

  • RustTheDuck 🪦 rust 🪦 (@RustTheDuck) reported
